Oliver  +  206898 Sat, 27 Jan 07 01:54 AM  For example , is there any place talking about people's life ,or politics, or PC, or internet, and there're many people online in the same time. I'm a Chinese people, and I want to learn English well, I think I should go to popular English speaking forums to see english speaking people how to  talk.  I try to find yahoo forum,but there is only yahoo group, Yahoo Group is just like Google Group,there're not many people online in the same time. In China , there're lots of forums in which there're  thounds of people online at the same time. e.g.  http://www.tianyaclub.com/   （This forum has 51283 people online now and have all kinds of topics）  Maybe it because China has a large population? or I didn't find the right English speaking forum? Thank you！   :-D e.g. In our forums, there're only 7 members online,but most are guests, although there're 589 people online at the same time. It's not active. There are currently 589 guest(s) online. There are 7 of 3,676 member(s) online: Froggynette, Pretty, Oliver, SHARKi900, CaRpE_dIeM, ALgHiE, People Oliver Joined on Sat, Jan 27 2007 First Post 02

	PunkyBrewster  +  206967 Sat, 27 Jan 07 02:29 PM Hey Oliver! You are right that this forum is not very active, that's because we haven't done any advertising for it yet. (Most people come from the englishforums.com). That will happen when we launch our new version of TCP (date unknown but we are working on it ). Otherwise I don't know any other forums besides the EF where you can practice specifically your English. We have many Chinese people registered here too We also have to take into consideration that TCP has only been online for a year, so since there was no marketing, we are doing very well for a new forum What do you think? Hope you still enjoy it here though PunkyBrewster Joined on Fri, Jan 13 2006 German living in Malta Advanced Member 2,831

	Oliver  +  206977 Sat, 27 Jan 07 04:26 PM Thank you!  :-) By the way , I think this forum is very good!  But sometimes I want to communicate with the people with the same hobby, not only learning English, e.g. Ubuntu, Internet ,People , funny, politics, etc. Thank you!  This is a very good place for practicing English.   Oliver

I don't know if I make myself clear but  what I mean is that when you wrote your message at the beggining of the year there were 3, 676 members and now look, we are 5,081 members!! Maybe we are not all here but we have to take in account that some of us are sleeping, working, or just are busy with little things of life. There are currently 562 guest(s) online.
